Fosswire recently highlighted a little known, but very useful GNOME tip.

While on your desktop (either with no windows open or with the desktop focused) type / (forward slash). Now type in a folder path and hit Enter. The directory will be opened in a new Nautilus window. On top of that, it will also autocomplete most paths.

How awesome is that? What a great way to quickly navigate to a folder.
